They want to know what kind of kit we want to see from them. Any opinion or construction criticism is always welcome. I'm just a messenger.

I'd like to see several items.

First, I'd like to see a "real" carbon fiber interior trim kit for the Scion fr-s. I'm thinking about a Scion complement to Subaru's silvered dash panel and the something for the center stack (especially when one elects the manual AC option). Something with some serious texturing and visual impact to smarten up that interior. Also, how about a radio space snap in panel that's actually a modular holder for the (a) TRD instrument pack, (b) a track day data logger control. And, for that matter, a replacement for the transmission tunnel trim?

Second, I'd like to see a subtle kit for the Subaru. I'd like to see a simple black rear ducktail that blends with the sweep of the trunk panel, a la the simple ducktail for the BMW 1 series. Also, how about a trim kit for the front to provide a unique grille kit to replace that Subaru black bumperette, and something to allow those who don't want to install fog lamps to turn the fender vents into true brake cooling ducts. Come to think of it, there have been lots of comments about those side fend vent ducts... add an interesting treatment for those, too.

If you want a more extensive, though still restrained, treatment, why not offer an alternative to either the Toyota/Scion or Subaru front body molding? I suspect that there would be plenty of takers...

I know this is mild, not wild, but I'm putting in a plea for those who want to unashamedly Europeanize the Toyobaru. I would take my cues from Stuttgart and Turin...

What say? Is there any support for this approach to bodywork accessorization?

[jedichimp]

think they're hinting at that it will look like the RC car body...

I would pay $10k+ to make it look like the concept.
Full conversion or DEATH.

Hope you're talking bout only the body, cuz wheels & brakes gonna cost you another $10k (at least)

[MiguelAE86]

Please, for the love of god don't listen to anyone saying "carbon fiber this, carbon fiber that" not EVERYONE can afford a $3k+ Bodykit on a $22-23k car!

Anyway, my suggestions it to have TWO available options (If not, take the one you like the Best, FiveAxis!)

Street Kit: Subtle lips here and there, i know FiveAxis has great vision and "flow" in terms of designing their kits to ADD to the body of the car in a subtle yet different manner, quite beautiful, actually. ALSO IMPORTANT: PLEASE a "DuckTail"! I absolutely (and i'm not alone here) ADORE the AE86 TRD-Style Ducktail! it just Adds that cherry on top that the car always needed!

Also, on that front-fender note, i see the FRS concept has a "step-cut" on the side of the front fender towards the front of the doors that makes the fender arch just that more dramatic! I love that! Add that!

Hardcore Kit: Go crazy! charge whatever you want! perhaps, like the poster above me said, make those tall front-fenders that mimick the Original FR-S Concept! go crazy!

lol yeah, especially if they're the annular brakes/rim setup that's on the concept (as largely unlikely as that is )

[Dark]

Make dual disc brake each side on the front like motorcycle. LOL

[jedichimp]

center-lock wheels all day...
